"I love you, mommy"

These two boys are so sweet. Jacob has had a 101 fever since yesterday and I've had a hard week so last night Jack senses something is wrong and puts his hand on my cheek and says 'I love you mommy...so much!" Sweet sweet boy. Boys love their mommas.

getting settled

We are moved in and getting settled in our new house. Since we built our first house we were a little nervous about buying an older home and we LOVE it. The rooms are large, the landscaping is established, the trees are huge, the laundry chute is very practical, and the intercom system is so fun to use! We play radio and talk to each other throughout the house:) The people who lived here before us lived here 20 yrs and raised 4 kids here. We aren't even close to being totally unpacked but I'll leave you with pics of the rooms closest to being done.

closing

We had our final walk through last night and we are scheduled to close today at 4. I'm so excited to see things that have been in boxes since last February and actually have a place to put them. This sounds a bit materialistic, I know, but it's not just the "stuff" I've missed...I've just missed having the ability to make my house a home...decorate...cook and have enough dishes to invite people over...you know...mom stuff I suppose...so excited for this weekend...

Hobby Lobby + Jerica = BFF

finally.

late night sonic

Erik and I are extremely guilty of several parenting no-no's but one that I will admit is that sometimes we can't resist our cute little kids and we will go and get them to spend the "late night" with us in our bed. Well this week, I cooked an AWFUL dinner (shocking I know) but this was AWFUL food...I followed a new recipe to the "t" and the whole dinner tasted like baked canola oil! Beside the point...moving on...we were all starving about 9 so Erik went and got Jack out of bed and went to get sonic. It was so fun eating sonic at 9:30 at night with our firstborn. He did get delirious and the night ended for him when he uttered/sang something like:
"I love you...you love me..we're a happy family. I need diet coke! *BELCH*" it was hilarious.

SODA. at 9:30. I can feel the judgment from blogland already:) I don't care. Such a fun memory.

pioneer woman

About a year ago I discovered a hidden talent. Cutting hair. Not womens hair just guys hair. I don't remember why I tried cutting Erik's hair but I did, and it looked good. So I've been his hair cutter ever since. Nothing fancy just a good ol' scissor haircut. Well good thing I have boys because I can just line them up once every few weeks and trim away. I feel like a pioneer woman of old. I am a cook, maid, nurse, decorator, and hair cutter. I feel like I should milk cows and churn my own butter or something.

after the haircuts...erik still has some on his shoulders...guess I should get one of those cool body tents or whatever they're called
post hair cut again. now let's take an eyes closed picture, erik!

okc thunder

Last night we took Jack to the OKC Thunder game and although they're not the most fun NBA team to watch Jack had a great time cheering on Kevin Durant. He even wore his Texas shirt to support KD.
